Does the verb end in <\/h2>\n

Il est venu cherch\u00e9<\/span> \/ chercher<\/strong> ses valises.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the 2 lessons we need to understand and to avoid making this mistake again:<\/h2>\n

Lesson 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Example<\/span> : Il est venu chercher<\/strong> ses valises. \"?\" Il est venu faire<\/strong> ses valises.<\/p>\n

We write “er<\/strong>” because we can replace “chercher” with “faire<\/strong>” .<\/p>\n

\"?\" \u00ab chercher \u00bb and \u00ab faire \u00bb are both infinitives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Example<\/span> : Il a cherch\u00e9<\/strong> ses valises. \"?\" Il a fait<\/strong> ses valises.<\/p>\n

We write “\u00e9<\/strong>” because we can replace “cherch\u00e9” with “fait<\/strong>” .<\/p>\n

\"?\"  \u00ab cherch\u00e9\u00bb and \u00ab fait \u00bb are both past participles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

LESSON 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example<\/span> : Je pense \u00e0<\/strong> d\u00e9m\u00e9nager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After a preposition<\/strong> (\u00e0, de, pour, sans)\"\ud83d\udc49\" <\/strong>the verb goes into the infinitive \"\ud83d\udc49\" “er” .<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"?\" … \u00e0<\/strong> d\u00e9m\u00e9nager<\/strong>  because “d\u00e9m\u00e9nager” is an infinitive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\u00e2\u0161 \u00ef\u00b8\u008f\" Example : Il a<\/strong> d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There’s no preposition here. <\/p>\n

It is just the “pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9” (auxiliary avoir + past participle) \"\ud83d\udc49\" ” \u00e9<\/strong> “.<\/p>\n

\"?\" a<\/strong> d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9<\/strong> because “d\u00e9m\u00e9nager” is a past participle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Exercices : <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00ab \u00e9\u00bb or \u00ab er\u00bb At the end of the verb ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pense \u00e0 apport.. le parasol et la cr\u00e8me solaire.<\/p>\n

J’utilise parfois la machine \u00e0 calcul…<\/p>\n

Il agit sans pens… au lendemain.<\/p>\n

Ce piano doit pes… deux cents kilos.<\/p>\n

Il suffit d’arrach… les feuilles mortes.<\/p>\n
